Theme of ESAS 2019:
E-Health systems play a significant role in the well-being of individuals, be it as medical solutions or for public healthcare. Rapid growth of facilities and technologies in medical fields has generated new opportunities for emerging application improvement. New models and methods continue to be developed to produce effective and safer healthcare environments. Still, huge challenges remain in evolving consistent, suitable, safe, flexible, and power-efficient systems fit for current medical needs. In unison with the main conference, the main theme of ESAS 2019 will be applying big data, Web technologies, linked open data and machine learning towards “Data-Driven Intelligence for a Smarter World.”
ESAS 2019 fosters the following complementary objectives:
1. Inquiring into the theory and practice of engineering e-health systems, especially methods, means, and best cases;
2. Exploring into unifying software engineering methodologies employed in implementing e-health applications across domains also preserving security and privacy of patient health records; and,
3. Deploying new technologies in big data analytics, knowledge-based expert systems, machine learning, linked open data and Web technologies towards affecting e-health/m-health systems especially for distributed healthcare for all.
In addition to regular papers, industrial practice reports are welcome particularly from industry authors.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Advances in e-health with artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, cognitive computing, intelligent agents
* e-health solutions for business and industry
* e-health applications in industry, business, healthcare, and education and training
* Autonomic analysis, monitoring and situation alertness
* e-health big data: Access, aggregation and use
* Body sensor networks and wearable sensor systems on e-health
* Medical biofeedback
* Medical decision support expert systems and tools
* Context awareness and autonomous computing for ambient assisted living
* e-health oriented software architectures (agents, SOA, middleware, etc.)
* e-health virtual and augmented reality
* Emerging e-health applications
* Mobile e-health applications
* Health grid and health cloud
* Health monitoring and traffic classification
* Healthcare management systems
* ICT-enabled personal health system
* Image and video processing for e-health
* e-health devices and smart parts for healthcare systems
* Semantic Web and e-health systems
* Ontology engineering and inferencing on the e-health systems
* Knowledge and rule-based processing in e-health
* Security, privacy and protection of personal data in e-health systems
* Case studies of smart health in a smarter world
* The future of e-health.
Paper Submission:
Submit your paper (upto six pages in the prescribed format) online using the drop-down menue tab @ https://ieeecompsac.computer.org/2019/information-for-authors/ by 07 April 2019.
Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication. Furthermore, to facilitate presentation of their already published work to a wider audience in person and to gain feedback on their work, authors can submit their published work in an IEEE journal in the last three years or accepted but not yet published papers, for presentation under the J1C2 (Journal First and Conference Second) scheme (https://ieeecompsac.computer.org/2019/j1c2/)
Accepted papers will be published in COMPSAC Proceedings at IEEE Xplore which is indexed by several popular indexing services.
Special Issue:
The submissions for the special issue of last year’s papers (“SI: e-Health and Staying Smarter” in the “Expert Systems: The Journal of Knowledge Engineering”, Wiley, IF: 1.43) ares now under review. A book project for the current and past ESAS papers is likely to be offered for ESAS 2019; more to follow.
